SUNDAY SUN 13 MAR 97 You broke my heart, says dad THE devoted father of Scientology girl Kathleen Wilson last night broke his silence to say: "She has broken my heart." Retired bricklayer Ray Wilson celebrated his 75th birthday alone last week. He said: "The best gift would have been to see Kathleen back home." BUT he did not even get a card or phone call from the daughter who used to cling to his every word. Ray - who split with Kathleen's mum Margaret when his daughter was 11 - has only seen his daughter twice since she signed up with the Scientologists four years ago. He revealed: "It breaks my heart to think of her hundreds of miles away from home, living in that Scientology castle. I am very worried about her. "I don't understand her any more. She writes to me but doesn't say very much. It's odd. And every time I ring, I'm told she's not there." Ray, of Brotton, Cleveland, treasures his album full of pictures of Kathleen on happy family holidays but said: "She is my only daughter and she has disappointed me." MEANWHILE mum Margaret, a Catholic, is left regretting not sending her daughter to church more often. She said: "Sometimes I just cry myself to sleep at night."
